Feast orchestrates point-in-time-correct offline retrieval, online serving and materialization across pluggable stores, with a feature registry. Its alpha vector search calls into a separate vector store rather than providing an index of its own, which keeps it two steps below Vespa, a complete distributed retrieval system.
